next meeting date- conflict
by Julie Guard 24 Dec '18

24 Dec '18

Hello, All: I have just learned that the date of our next meeting, 24 November, is also U.S. Thanksgiving. Our U.S. based colleague will of course not be able to attend. Perhaps, given that this is a legitimate conflict and we wouldn't schedule a meeting on a Canadian holiday, we could reschedule the meeting, perhaps to 1 December? julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies Office: 117 Isbister Building Mailing address: 218 Isbister Building University of Manitoba 183 Dafoe Road Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:julie.guard@umanitoba.ca> Please note that as of 1 July 2018 I am no longer Labour Studies Coordinator

Hi: I still can't make it to today's meeting, but I wanted to provide an update on the ad hoc entertainment committee. I have been in touch with Jason Hooper from WECC and will be convening a meeting of the committee very soon. I haven't been able to do it until December. But we are on the case.

Regrets from me re: today's meeting. I'm terribly sorry. I've got a bad bug, which has worsened this AM. Just so you know (and I've apprised Jeff Taylor and Jim Naylor of said), I've engaged a website designer and code-person to re-tool our current site. Just need a couple of tech bits ,which are hopefully forthcoming by early next week. I have reached out to a comms. specialist within the UM Faculty of Arts. :) I hope to hear from her on Monday. In other words, I need another week. That's it from here. Hope you're all well! KL P.S.

Question from Harriet Zaidman
by Julie Guard 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi all: I got a question from Harriet Zaidman asking if someone can tell her which unions are holding their conventions in the city next year. She has written a middle grade children's novel about the strike that will be released in March and would like to promote it at union conventions, if they agree. Does anyone have that information? julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies Office: 117 Isbister Building Mailing address: 218 Isbister Building University of Manitoba 183 Dafoe Road Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:julie.guard@umanitoba.ca> Please note that as of 1 July 2018 I am no longer Labour Studies Coordinator

WGSCC Meeting this Saturday!
by James Naylor 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hi Everyone, A reminder that the Winnipeg General Strike Centenary Conference Committee is meeting this Saturday, October 27, at 1:30 at 2B23, University of Winnipeg. I think the main order of business is to develop a timeline to the Conference, think of the tasks that have to be undertaken, and ensure that they are covered by our current committees. Please let me know of any specific items that should be placed on the agenda. Thanks, Jim James Naylor Professor Department of History Brandon University 270 18th Street Brandon, MB R7A 6A9 Canada Office: 204 727 9664 Cell: 204 720 2117 Naylor(a)BrandonU.ca<mailto:Naylor@BrandonU.ca> people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/<https://people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/> [cid:image001.png@01D1CCA7.E31D2D80]

Conference advertised in UMFA newsletter
by Julie Guard 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

UMFA's newsletter to members, UMFA Fast Facts 6 November 2018, includes this item. I thought you would want to know. julie [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/c03da638cf6ab1e93b257822d/_compresseds/a821a9…] This conference commemorates the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, a landmark moment in North American working-class history. In May and June that year, some 30,000 workers ceased work for six weeks. Provoked by the inequities of industrial capitalism, the authoritarianism of their workplaces, the brutal experiences of the First World War, rising prices and stagnating wages, an insecure economic outlook, intransigent employers, and a federal state that responded to their demands with growing repression, the city's workers stood together in an astounding display of unity. This conference explores the history and continuities of those struggles, many of which continue to confront us today. The conference is part of an extensive program of commemorative activities planned for spring 2019. More information can be found on the Manitoba Federation of Labour's website: http://mfl.ca/1919<https://umfa.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c03da638cf6ab1e93b257822d&i…>.

okay to advertise our conference in UMFA fast Facts?
by Julie Guard 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

Dear colleagues: The UMFA newsletter -UMFA Fast facts - wants to include a note about the 1919 conference. I have prepared a short description, most of it copied shamelessly from the website. The union wants to publish the newsletter early next week, so if you can respond with your comments, suggestions, additions, subtractions, and whether you approve the inclusion of this note in the UMFA email to members (aka newsletter) by Monday, that would be helpful. thanks! 1919 Winnipeg General Strike Centenary Conference, 8-11 May 2019 This conference commemorates the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, a landmark moment in North American working-class history.
